What happens when the losing team you’ve been loyal to since childhood starts actually winning? Before the New York Knicks went on their storybook Championship run of domination through the 2026 NBA Playoffs, host Claire de Lune went to New York City to talk to one of the most high profile (and funniest) Knicks fans, comedian and late night television host Desus Nice, to find out why it can feel like an identity crisis when your favorite team’s Ls start turning into Ws.
